CEN NYC: Womens' Luncheon, Tips and Tricks of Finding the Work you Love…Flexibly!
Cornell Entrepreneur Network (CEN) presents: Womens' Luncheon, Tips and Tricks of Finding the Work you Love…Flexibly! featuring Lisa Kay Solomon '93, board member of Flexperience Today.
Today, women are increasingly interested in blending parenthood with a career. However, the careers they seek today are not the traditional full-time, office-bound roles. In fact, the Pew Research Center survey recently released found that only 21 percent of working mothers with children under 18 viewed full-time work as the best arrangement, down from 32 percent in 1997. Sixty percent of the working mothers said a part-time job would be best, up from 48 percent ten years ago. So how do you get that flexible, fulfilling job?
Join Lisa Kay Solomon, a thought leader in the field of flexible work and board member of Flexperience, for an exciting, collaborative discussion about the tips and tricks related to finding the work you love…flexibly. Lisa will share what she’s learned about what works when creating flexible work arrangements: from marketing yourself, to finding the work you really want, to managing the ongoing professional relationship, and your overall career path. She’ll also address some common obstacles to getting the job you want flexibly, and strategies to overcome them.
Lisa’s experience draws from the hundreds of professionals that are part of Flexperience's talent database, the clients' perspectives on flexible contract assignments, and her own perspectives from her past career as a consultant who worked flexibly in a top tier strategy consulting firm.
